Oops!

In my fervour to clear the canals of litter I stopped to pick up a full bin bag and a sheet of plastic. I reversed up the the bank and grounded the boat in the shallow water. It should have stayed there while I collected the litter. Not so! Stepping off the back of the boat allowed the boat to float free and drift across the canal. Doh!With the canal being short of water it did not float all the way across but was stopped by the depth, or lack of it, and a hawthorn bush. The boat was not far enough across to warrant going to the bridge, along the other bank and trying to board her, so I waited . . . . and waited . . . . and waited.It was an hour before another boat came along to deposit me back on the Milly M. Thank you sir, most appreciated.

Oh Calamity, well if it was not that deep, shoes and socks off and a quick paddle would have put you back on board. You can’t beat a secure line as you now know lol. Throw out the anchor oh I forgot you don’t have one. Happy boating

1984

Go Set a Watchman

The first book by Harper Lee. Mocking Bird was the second. Not quite as exciting as I expected but nonetheless good

..To Kill a Mocking Bird

The great American novel of 1960. Good read.

Coming through the Rye

If you liked 'Catcher in the Rye: J D SALINGER you will love this story a continuation of the original. Written in the same style as "Catcher". It has a twist that will surprise you.

Cannery Row

This is probably one of the finest crafted books you will ever read. Steinbeck at the top of his game. Always there to dip in and out of when you need to see how proper joined up writing is done!

RED ONE

This man has been to hell and back ..... many times. He possesses courage many of us could never imagine. He daily walked the road to death and survived because he was the best. You wont be able to put it down.

Sweating The Metal

This book is a phenomenal story of unbridaled heroism. You will be amazed at the courage of these crews. This is a must read for anybody.
